The problem it solves

You want to know how much coffee your office or shop is going through, but nobody has time to write it down every cup. Without a running count, you can't spot trends, plan restocking, or catch a machine that needs servicing before it breaks down.

Who it fits

Office managers, cafes, or small businesses that want to track coffee machine usage without manual logging.

How it works

  1. A small connected sensor on the coffee machine detects each brew
  2. The count is sent automatically to a tracking system the moment a coffee is made
  3. The system timestamps the reading and records it
  4. Each brew is appended as a new row in a running spreadsheet
What you get

Coffee brews logged that nobody tracked before

Every coffee your machine brews gets logged automatically to a running spreadsheet, giving you a live, timestamped record of usage.

What you get

A running spreadsheet log of every coffee brewed, with date and time, ready for tracking or dashboards.

What you need

A Google Workspace account and a connected sensor device on the coffee machine.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
